Mobile phone shows wrong location - it can be because of it

Your smartphone's GPS signal may be disrupted. This can be due to protective covers that you have attached to your smartphone, for example.
However, electromagnetic devices that are close to your smartphone can also be responsible for the interference.
Make sure you have GPS enabled too. To do this, go to "Settings"> "Privacy"> "Location Services" (iOS) or "Settings"> "Location Access" (Android).
On Android, you can also specify which mode you want to use for location determination. Select "high precision" here.
It can also be helpful if you also switch on the WLAN in addition to GPS. This supports the location determination.
Note that additional settings may be available for rooted devices.
If these tips do not help, you can try to reset the phone to factory settings (Android / iOS).
